Name association question

[whatausername]

Do you associate the name Riva (Reeva) with the model murdered by her pathetic boyfriend?

Yes, but only as that's the only Reeva I've ever heard of.

Yes as above because that’s the only time I have ever heard the name. Quick google brings this up also first page all about the murder no other references. Obvs this may change if the name is used more.

No. I vaguely remember that case but only when you mentioned it, not enough to think of it as soon as I hear the name.

In all honesty I couldn’t remember exactly which murder this was. I immediately thought ‘murder not in uk a very reported case’.

Wasn't the first thought that came to mind, no.

Yes it was mine. I love the name Keeva though if you like that.

Yes, unfortunately. It's such a shame as it's a very pretty name.

Yes. Never heard it apart from that.

Yes 100%

Yes. Not sure it matters for a baby born now though.

No, not at all. Her name was Reeva and the name you’re suggesting is Riva.

Yes but it's a nice name and quite different.

Yes, it immediately made me think of her.

I thought Lada Riva. As in the really lame Soviet car.

Not a great association either.

I wouldn't, no.

Reeva - yes
Riva - no

Yes

Yes

Yes.

Yeah I'm afraid so which is a shame because it's a lovely name.

Unless you are pronouncing it River then yes. No matter how it's spelt the name Reeva/Rive is likely to make people think of the case simply because it's such an uncommon name its likely the only time they have heard it.

When I read the start of the sentence, I thought the name was familiar but didn't know why. When I read the end, I immediately realised that was why I had heard it before. I knew there was a connection, but I'm not sure I would have made it alone, or at least not immediately.

If it was spelt as Reeva then I would, but that's mainly because I hadn't heard the name before it was on the news
